Nickel 200 & Nickel 201: Nickel Alloys and Nickel Copper Alloys

Nickel 200 Alloy is a commercially pure nickel that exhibits good corrosion resistance and has rather low electrical resistivity. It’s used in caustic solutions, food handling equipment, and general corrosion-resistant parts and structures. Because it contains magnetic and mechanical properties, it can be used in devices that require magnetic actuated parts.

Nickel 201 Alloy is similar to Nickel 200 Alloy and is a low carbon modification of the 200 Alloy. It has a low annealed hardness and very low work-hardening rate. Those who use Nickel 201 Alloy find it desirable in deep drawing, spinning, and coining. It addition, it can be applied to corrosion-resistant equipment including but not limited to: caustic evaporators, spun anodes, and laboratory crucibles.

Nickel 205 Alloy contains controlled additions of magnesium and titanium (small amounts of both) and exhibits good oxidation resistance. It’s commonly used in support wires, vacuum tube components, pins, terminals, lead wires, and other electronic components of the like.

Nickel 270 Alloy is a high purity nickel alloy commonly used for electrical resistant thermometers.
